I invite you to a coffee at La Candela in Sant Pere square (Barcelona). Liam and I went for a walk in this neighborhood, of which we have too many places to discover yet, and I decided to stop here for the perfect location of this café.

Sant Pere neighborhood belongs to the district of Ciutat Vella and its origin dates back to the X century. At that time, outside the Roman walls in this place existed a female monatery, Sant Pere de les Puelles convent, and most of the nuns were daughters of the noble families. These families were financially responsable of maintaining the monastery.

Over the centuries, the monastery has suffer attacks, fires and exclaustrations and little remains of what was the original construction. The fountain in the middle of the square is Modernist (Pere Falqués).
